Re: Decisive moment available to everyone now!
I don't think that's entirely true. This is a leveler. There's a saying supposedly from the Old West, God created Men, Sam Colt made them equal. In a fight with clubs the bigger heavier opponent has an advantage in a fight with guns, a lot of that advantage goes away. Let me tell a story, a few years ago, I visited some friends in Florida, and we had a day trip to a baseball spring training camp. The nice thing about spring training is that you get to see actual pros in a park with less strictures than AA ball, and for my purposes at least, the pitcher wasn't trying quite so hard to keep the batter from actually getting a hit. I planted myself on the sidelines pretty much just off the third base line, and shot few rolls of B&W trying to get the moment when the batter connected with the ball. I kind of know baseball, used to watch a lot of AAA games, so I know at close range what to look for when the batter is actually going to take a swing. I'm not a award winning sports photographer, but out of my four rolls or so of film I managed to get one shot where the batter connected, and a couple just after. (damn, I really wish I knew where the negatives got to at this point). I was shooting with an LX and the power winder and 300mm f4.0. I got three almost shots and one good one out of four rolls of film. All I had to do was hit the shutter button when the batter started to move. With the Sony I'd have gotten pretty much all of them closer than my three misses.

Re: Photo books question
To me it sounds like a waste of money. You could/should do a proof copy after you have it all together, and there will be time then to fix any image issues. If anything, if you are really worried about image print quality, do a total throw-away (on the same paper you plan to use later), maybe 10-12 pages, include a range of bright, dark and midtown images, see how they come out. But don’t waste money on a full proof until you put in the text and have it all ready to go.

Yes, but it doesn't take nearly as much skill. That's half what big name sports photographers used to get paid for, the knowledge of the sport, not just where to point the camera, someone with a bit more than passing knowledge can do that, but when press the shutter to capture the best possible shot.

Decisive moment available to everyone now!
If you want to pay the price. So Sony's introduced the a9, a 20 frame/second 24mp camera with no EVF blackout. Everything about it seems great. If I were a professional sports photographer I'd really want this camera. Yet I am saddened by it as well. It changes the skill set from knowing your equipment and the sport you're covering to something more like the skill set of a WWII, Russian sub machine-gunner detailed knowledge to get the right shot isn't necessary anymore. Now all you need is a general knowledge of where the action is most likely to take place and you can really spray and pray. Odds are on every play something will be usable. It's a triumph of digital technology and yet it makes me feel that something important has been lost. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Photo books question
last meeting a suggestion of submitting just the photos in the book, no text to do a proof copy to make sure the pictures all look good, but after discussion we decided that might not be the best way to do it other than put the book together then order a test print.
